Publisher's Synopsis
Contending that universities as presently organized have become educationally bank-rupt and irrelevant to the needs of society, Harold Taylor, former president of Sarah Lawrence College and well known in inter-national circles for his contributions to edu-cational philosophy, presents an incisive blueprint for the meaningful reform of American higher education in the 1970s. Among other proposals he argues for a na-tional system of volunteer service by stu-dents in the field of teaching, community action, the creative arts and social research.
